 Dongs and Dildos
View all dongs and dildos... Dildos (or dongs) come in various sizes and can be used anally or vaginally, but there is some disagreement about just what precisely defines a dildo.
There is general agreement that a nonvibrating device, resembling the penis in shape, size, and overall appearance, is a dildo. Some people include
vibrating devices in this definition. Others exclude penis prosthetic aids, also called "extensions". Some include penis-shaped items clearly designed with vaginal penetration in mind even if they are not true approximations of a penis. Some people include devices designed for anal penetration (butt plugs) while others do not.
Conventionally, many dildos are shaped like a human penis with varying
degrees of detail. Not all, however, are fashioned to reproduce the male
anatomy meticulously, and dildos come in a wide variety of shapes. These may resemble figures, or simply be practical creations which stimulate more
easily than conventional designs. In Japan, many dildos are created to
resemble animals or cartoon characters, like Hello Kitty, so that they may
be sold as toys, thus avoiding obscenity laws.
Some dildos have textured surfaces to enhance sexual pleasure. Many dildos
of high quality, also called top shelf toys, tend to have less resemblance to a penis, opting for ergonomic design. Further, these designs tend to opt for a less bulbous head, similar to the smoother shape of an uncircumcised penis.
Vaginal and/or anal penetration are the obvious uses. Dildos have fetishistic value as well, and some couples use them in other ways, running them over the skin during foreplay for example. If of appropriate sizes, they can be used as gags, for oral penetration for a sort of artificial fellatio. Some people also use specially designed dildos to stimulate the G-spot.
A dildo to be inserted in the anus and remain in place for a period of time is called a butt-plug. Dildos used for repeated anal penetration, such as thrusting, are usually referred to as simply "dildos" and must have a flared
base to be safe for anal play. There are also double-ended dildos, with different-sized shafts pointing in the same direction, used by women to
accomplish both anal and vaginal penetration at once, or for two partners to
share a single dildo. In this case, the dildo acts as a sort of "see-saw"; each partner takes an end and receives stimulation.
There are dildos designed to be worn in a harness, sometimes called a strap-on harness or strap-on dildo, or to be worn inside, sometimes with vibrating devices attached externally.
Strap-on dildos may be double-ended, in which case they are meant to be worn by users who want to experience vaginal or anal penetration while also
penetrating a partner. They may also be used for anal penetration of men. If
the penetration is done by a female partner to a male partner, the act is known as pegging.
Other types of dildos include those designed to be fitted to the face of one
party, inflatable dildos, and dildos with suction cups attached to the base
(sometimes referred to as a wall mount). Other types of harness mounts for
dildos (besides strapping to the groin) include thigh mount, face mount, or
furniture mounting straps.
